Attention!! This software is developed continuously.

We try to convert the persistent data from one version to the next one automatically as good as it can be done. There might also be some bugs in any version, if you find some, then please report them with the issue-form

It is possible to safe the whole eeprom-contents from time to time as a backup with each flash progammer. This data can be replayed afterwards if anything goes wrong. It can also be analyzed offline e.g. with the ruby-script in utils/eeprom.rb:

  > ruby utils/eeprom.rb info eeprom.bin
  > ruby utils/eeprom.rb info eeprom.bin -v

th9x is free to use under the GNU v2.0 License. Feel free to use, copy and modify it as you wish! If you feel that this software has been beneficial you can show your support by donating. This will be greatly appreciated and you'll be added to the "contributors" list in the code.

- Procedure in case you have the incorrect THR alarm:
- Put the stick in the THR idle position
- Go to the alarms menu, and turn the THR alarm off and on again.
issue 42 Key-debounce insufficient: increased from 20ms to 40ms
issue 46 Stick latency : Filter degree adjustable from 0-3
